Growing up in Northern Michigan, winter was an accepted part of my young life experience. Early memory was of my parents stuffing my siblings and I into our winter snow clothes and boots (including bread bags) and sent outside to play, get creative, eat the snow, build a snowman, have a snowball fight, sled, ice skate on a neighbors frozen back yard, go skiing at the local ski hill, build a snow fort or just lay in snow and make snow angels. Not much has changed in terms of Michigan winters. I moved to Kalkaska County 20 years ago and discovered that our winters are in what is called the "snowbelt". Where our neighbors receive 5 inches of snow in a day - we might receive 1-2 feet. It is just how it works out.
That being said, the Northeast part of our county is home to an incredible amount of state land, clean clear lakes and the Manistee River. There is the groomed Blue Bear snowmobile trail and county friendly side roads for riding. We are also within 30-45 minutes of some of the best downhill skiing in Michigan. Once winter leaves us, the river, streams and lakes open up to great fishing, trail riding, boating, mushroom hunting, deer and bird hunting, or just relaxing in a woodsy setting watching the stars at night. This is a great place to make memories as many families and multi generations have done in the past.
